This is something I've been worried about for a while.  Config::Any
tries to load every config file with every "backend", so printing
warnings is going to lead to a lot of spurious garbage.

Perhaps making ConfigLoader louder would help?  If no config is loaded
(but ConfigLoader is loaded), then perhaps we need to

  [warn] Config file found but failed to load.  Errors
  [warn] YAML_OMG_YOU_FORGOT_SOMETHING (Line 42, Column 32)
            etc.
  [warn] XML::Parser error: no <?xml ?> declaration
  [warn] JSON ...

As you can see it's kind of verbose that way.  What do other people think?
